In the ruins of a world gone to hell, one band still dares to plug in and play loud.
ApocaLips follows the wild, weekly adventures of an all-female punk trio tearing through the ashes of post-collapse America-trading electrified sets for food, fuel, and the occasional fight. Society has crumbled, governments are gone, and cities lie abandoned or burning. In their place, camps, cults, and makeshift communities rise and fall, battling for scraps of the old world. Amidst the chaos, ApocaLips brings defiance, raw sound, and attitude wherever they roll.
The world of ApocaLips is brutal. The Collapse shattered everything. Some say it was war. Others say it was greed, disease, or divine punishment. The truth is lost beneath ash and static. What remains is a country carved into lawless zones, cult-controlled territories, and survivor camps clinging to hope or madness. Among the ruins, whispers spread of a new drug-one that turns people hollow, violent, and obedient. And wherever this drug appears, a sinister cult isn't far behind.
Every week, ApocaLips brings you a new chapter-another town, another show, another danger. Expect back-alley brawls, back-line sabotage, mystery, mayhem, and music that could tear your speakers in two. With each stop, the band uncovers more about the drug, the cult, and their own limits. But make no mistake: this isn't a redemption story. It's a punk rock saga about survival, camaraderie, and turning the volume all the way up-no matter what the end of the world throws at you.
Welcome to the show.

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for."
[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance]
Summary:
Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was.
With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help.
Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
